[46] Heuzey, in the _Revue d’Assyriologie_, 1905, pp. 59 _sqq._ and plate iii. Von Lichtenberg (_Mitteilungen der Vorderasiatischen Gesellschaft_, 1906, 2) has lately pointed out that the black incised pottery with white fillings is identical in Cyprus, Troy, the Laibach bog and the Mondsee, and that the ornamentation which characterizes it is found in the valley of the Danube and the pile-dwellings of Switzerland. His attempt to derive it from Cyprus, however, cannot be sustained in view of its occurrence in Elam. [47] _Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archæology_, 1905, p. 28. [48] _Ilios_, p. 337. Schliemann called it the Third city. Dörpfeld’s subsequent excavations, however, have shown that it really was the Second city, whose history fell into three periods. [49] Some of these represent the goddess with the arms folded, and not pressed against the breasts. See, for example, the photograph of one found at Naxos in the _Comptes rendus du Congrès international d’ Archéologie_, 1905, p. 221. For Trojan examples, see _Ilios_, pp. 331–6. [50] See _Mémoires de la Délégation en Perse_, viii. pp. 336–7. A report of some of the results of the Pumpelly expedition is given by Dr. Hubert Schmidt in the _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie 1906_, Pt. iii, p. 385. [51] Flint implements, however, were discovered by Taylor in his excavations at Abu Shahrein, the site of Eridu (_Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society_, xv. p. 410 and plate ii.). [52] See Taylor’s “Notes on the Ruins of Muqeyer,” in the _Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society_, xv. pp. 271–3 and 415. [53] _Nippur_, vol. ii. pp. 381–6.

[58] ANA-BAR. _Bar_ is given as the Sumerian pronunciation of the word for “stone” (_Syllabary_ 5, iv. 11, in Delitzsch’s _Assyrische Lesestücke_, 3rd edition). In Old Egyptian “iron” was similarly _ba-n-pet_, “stone of heaven,” while “silver” was “white gold,” “gold” being symbolized by a collar. We may compare the Indo-European “white” metal as a name of “silver.” The Sumerian _azag-gi_, “gold,” was a form of _azagga_, “precious,” more especially “precious metal”; the more specific word for “gold” was _guskin_, with which the Armenian _oski_ must be connected. “Silver” was _bábara_, the “bright” metal, _nagga_ being “lead,” the Armenian _anag_. The identity of the Armenian and Sumerian words for “gold” and “lead,” coupled with the Armenian origin of the vine, and the fact that the mountain on which the ark of the Babylonian Noah rested was Jebel Judi, south of Lake Van, raises an interesting question as to the origin of Sumerian civilization.
